I.—Some Lake Basins in Alberta and British Columbia

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

For several years careful study has been given to numerous lake basins in England and elsewhere, with the result that many previously considered as rock basins have not survived the ordeal. Professor Bonney, who has always opposed this hypothesis in the case of large lakes, has described four authentic examples from the Lepontine Alps, three of which I had the advantage of visiting with him; and some few weeks before, Mr. Brend described others from Caernarvonshire.
